feet OF Lord Hartington's Speech.

LONDON, August 7.-Adyices from Paris
are to the effect that the feeling between
France and Germany is increasing In
bitterness, and there Is decided anxiety
expressed by the people on both aides Of
the line. The editor Of one Of the leading
Paris journals Is quoted in an interview
as saying: II believe that war between
France and Germany will break GU. by
the beginning Of October. The Germans
all believe In war, and In my judgment arc
going to force It on" He added that Mar.
shal Won Moltke declared only the other
day that he believed Europe was upon tho
eve Of a general war. The Berlin cores.

"a very uncomfortable feeling has boon

Reports ofprovocation have OF late been
SO continuous that the people are asking
each other how matters are going to end.
It ia a long time since Germans have dis.
played such intense Indignation as they
show now. The most recently reported
case Of German batting in France Ia the !.
cloaing Of. the Weissbach mandatory al
Embermeil, BY the preiect OF the depart.
ment. This has created something like
evaporation, and 1t Is understood that
the incident has been made the subject Of
diplomatic communications. The belief
Is entertained In some quarters that Prince
departure for Kissengen has
been delayed solely on account Of The un-
usual tension Of German and French rc.
lations, produced by the affair. r. :,
The Strasburg Post states that the work
people OF the closed mandatory have
been informed by the French authorities
that unless they are able within three days
to give proof OF their possessing other ON. K
